Tom Brady loves winning and apparently loves saying one particular word when it comes to calling football games.
For the most part, Brady has been solid during his broadcasting debut season in 2024, but he was never going to live up to the high expectations that were placed upon him.
He has grown into the role, but his performance on the call of the Steelers-Ravens Week 16 game appeared to be a major step backward.
Saturday’s Ravens-Steelers game on Fox featured Tom Brady constantly using the same word over and over again during the broadcast: “Chunk or chunks.”
He said it so much that it became a running joke on social media.

Here is how social media reacted to him saying the word over and over again:
“If you drink every time Brady says “chunk” you won’t last long,” one fan said.
“What Brady’s dreaming about rn. Bro saying the word chunk every five seconds 🤣,” another fan added while putting up a picture of a cookie.
Another fan asked: “Anybody got a “chunk” count on Tom Brady?”
One fan demanded, “Brady needs to stop saying chunks.”
One fan decided to make a game of it: New Drinking Game Whenever Tom Brady on @NFLonFOX uses the word “chunk(s)” — you will be drunk in about 5 minutes.”
Another X user added: “Brady must have gotten a word of the day calendar, and chunks must have been today’s word.”
One final added, “genuinely wish tom brady would quit talking about chunks. Find another word, that one is terrible.”
Tom Brady Also Screwed Up Breakdown During Ravens-Steelers Game
Tom Brady was on call for the mega matchup between the Ravens and Steelers during Week 16.
He had a rough day that saw him using “chunks” way too much, but that was just the start of his day.
When breaking down a touchdown pass to Rashod Bateman in the second quarter, Brady made the mistake of saying that Lamar Jackson had caught a touchdown pass that he had thrown.
He would correct himself.
“This is Cory Trice at corner,” said Brady. “The second-year player who hasn’t had much playing experience. They run a high-low concept and he just takes the cheese up here on Likely and exposes the safety to this easy throw here to Lamar.”
Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
